# Persona Optimization Task
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
Systematically analyze and optimize individual BMAD persona performance to enhance their effectiveness and capabilities.
|
|
|
|
## When to Execute
|
|
- After completing 3-5 projects with a specific persona
|
|
- When persona performance metrics indicate suboptimal results
|
|
- Following user feedback about persona effectiveness
|
|
- Before major methodology updates or overhauls
|
|
|
|
## Optimization Process
|
|
|
|
### 1. Persona Performance Analysis
|
|
|
|
**Current Capability Assessment:**
|
|
- Review recent deliverable quality and consistency
|
|
- Analyze time-to-completion metrics for typical tasks
|
|
- Evaluate user satisfaction ratings with persona interactions
|
|
- Assess alignment between persona outputs and requirements
|
|
|
|
**Strength Identification:**
|
|
- Which persona capabilities consistently produce excellent results?
|
|
- What unique value does this persona provide to the BMAD workflow?
|
|
- Which techniques or approaches work exceptionally well?
|
|
|
|
**Weakness Identification:**
|
|
- Where does the persona consistently struggle or underperform?
|
|
- What types of tasks or requirements create difficulties?
|
|
- Which outputs require frequent iteration or clarification?
|
|
|
|
### 2. Instruction Effectiveness Review
|
|
|
|
**Core Principles Analysis:**
|
|
- Are the existing principles still relevant and effective?
|
|
- Do any principles conflict or create confusion?
|
|
- Are there missing principles that would improve performance?
|
|
|
|
**Operational Instructions Review:**
|
|
- Which instructions are followed consistently vs. ignored?
|
|
- Are there unclear or ambiguous instructions?
|
|
- Do instructions scale well across different project types?
|
|
|
|
**Example and Template Quality:**
|
|
- Are provided examples still current and helpful?
|
|
- Do templates facilitate or hinder optimal performance?
|
|
- Are there gaps in guidance for common scenarios?
|
|
|
|
### 3. Capability Gap Analysis
|
|
|
|
**Missing Skills or Knowledge:**
|
|
- What capabilities would significantly improve persona effectiveness?
|
|
- Are there emerging patterns or technologies the persona should understand?
|
|
- What domain expertise updates are needed?
|
|
|
|
**Process Improvement Opportunities:**
|
|
- How could the persona's workflow be optimized?
|
|
- What additional tools or frameworks would be helpful?
|
|
- Which handoff processes could be improved?
|
|
|
|
**Quality Enhancement Potential:**
|
|
- What would elevate good outputs to exceptional ones?
|
|
- How could consistency be improved across different contexts?
|
|
- What would reduce the need for iterations or refinements?
|
|
|
|
### 4. Optimization Strategy Development
|
|
|
|
**Priority Categorization:**
|
|
- Critical: Issues that significantly impact persona effectiveness
|
|
- Important: Improvements that would provide substantial benefits
|
|
- Nice-to-have: Enhancements for incremental optimization
|
|
|
|
**Implementation Complexity:**
|
|
- Simple: Changes to existing instructions or principles
|
|
- Moderate: Addition of new capabilities or frameworks
|
|
- Complex: Fundamental restructuring of persona approach
|
|
|
|
**Risk Assessment:**
|
|
- What are the potential negative impacts of proposed changes?
|
|
- How can changes be tested before full implementation?
|
|
- What rollback procedures are needed if changes don't work?
|
|
|
|
### 5. Optimization Implementation
|
|
|
|
**Instruction Updates:**
|
|
- Refine existing principles for clarity and effectiveness
|
|
- Add new principles to address identified gaps
|
|
- Remove or modify counterproductive instructions
|
|
|
|
**Capability Enhancements:**
|
|
- Integrate new domain knowledge or techniques
|
|
- Add frameworks or tools to improve performance
|
|
- Enhance templates and examples for better guidance
|
|
|
|
**Process Improvements:**
|
|
- Streamline workflows for better efficiency
|
|
- Improve handoff procedures with other personas
|
|
- Add quality control checkpoints where needed
|
|
|
|
### 6. Testing and Validation
|
|
|
|
**Controlled Testing:**
|
|
- Test optimized persona on representative tasks
|
|
- Compare performance against baseline metrics
|
|
- Gather feedback from users and stakeholders
|
|
|
|
**A/B Comparison:**
|
|
- Run parallel tests with old vs. new persona versions
|
|
- Measure differences in key performance indicators
|
|
- Validate that optimizations deliver expected benefits
|
|
|
|
**Iterative Refinement:**
|
|
- Make adjustments based on testing feedback
|
|
- Fine-tune optimizations for better results
|
|
- Ensure changes integrate well with overall BMAD workflow
